Most people think of "worship" in terms of music. And they are not wrong. But worship is not limited to a certain time or place. True worship is reflected in the lifestyle and choices we make as Christians.
Mark 12:30 says, "Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
Worship is every moment of every day.
The best way to really know and understand what we believe at Branson First Church is to get involved in one of our ministry groups. Love cannot exist outside of action - which at Branson First Church is best shown through our ministry groups. We would love for you to join a ministry group and begin connecting with others with the same heart and mission.
Fulfilling the Great Commission will make a unique mark on our community and our world. By serving others, we show the love of Christ and receive the love of God in return. This unique mark of serving flows out of worship and connecting with others.
THE TRIUNE GOD
We believe in One God, the Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son and Spirit.

We believe in Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man at the same time, who became like us, died and was resurrected to bring our salvation.
THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE HOLY SCRIPTURE
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, giving us all we need to know about how to be saved.
SIN, ORIGINAL & PERSONAL
We believe that we are all sinners by both nature and act and need God’s forgiveness and cleansing.
ATONEMENT
We believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross and we can be restored to a right relationship to God.

We believe that God has enabled us to turn to Him from our sin but that He has not forced us to do so.
